How to clean a fireplace?

First of all, you should know that if the fireplace is used regularly then it should be cleaned at least once a year in order to keep it in good condition. The best time for doing that is the period between late spring and early fall, as usually you do not use your fireplace very often in that time. When you are cleaning your fireplace you should look for a brown or black coating that is thinner than 1/8 inch and that usually appears in a flue area. It is a reason for most chimney fires. You should also check for any damage, buildup, and wear. Do not forget the importance of precaution.

It is also advisable to look for some publications with more detailed explanations.
